Customer Reviews

I really liked this book.

It's about a little girl named Beany. She hears a story about a dolphin sword that can grant wishes, and then she figures out that the person that owned the sword lived in Porridge Hall, which is where she lives. And she goes up in the attic and she finds the dolphin sword, and it grants her wishes. Her mother is really sick, so she wishes that her mother would be better.I liked it because it was a very good book. It kept leaving me on cliffhangers, so I couldn't put it down.

Dolphin Luck

This story is about a girl named Robin who lives with her mom and dad. She has some friends in her neighborhood who she plays with all the time. It was Christmas time and her dad had heart problems and died. She was very unhappy. She did not play with her friends for a week. She thought that her dad would come back. My opinion is that people who like books that have people fighting for what they believe in should read it. This is an excellent book to read and this is a book that no one will forget. I think that the people that like books that are funny should read it. People who like books that have caring people in it should read this book

Very Funny!

Dog Friday, the first book in this series, had one of the funniest scenes ever written; Dolphin Luck has even more hysterical parts. Yes, it's a bit far-fetched, but not impossible, and that's part of the fun, and all the bits fit together at the end. If you like books about kids who just can't seem to stay out of trouble, you'll like Dolphin Luck.
